Hello there,
I am interested to know if there is any kind of standardization in abbreviations used in Automation and Control era.
Could be something form ISA, form IEC, IEE ... whatever.
For example in Automation and Control era CPU stands for what ... for Central Processing Unit, which is in fact the CPU term in computer's world, or Control Processor Unit, which i guess is wider and may refer to the complete electronic board consisting of the processor and all other electronics ?
I have seen the term CPM - Control Processor Module ... any idea on what it stands for ?
To my understanding it may refer to even something more wider i.e. a board with a CPU and some other ports like com ports on the same board .
Anyway standardization could resolve any argument/doubt.
Thanks
Mike
